| Mine is 4/06 i dont feel the pedal but when i drive we get abot 100 miles to quater tank and when wife drives she gets about 165.NO joke.I havent yet drove it from full tank but once she passes the quater mark u can watch the needle drop.The tank she got 165 out a quater ended up with 295 to the tank.The one thing i know we have is the major ticking in muffler after turning off.That may have something to do with it.Do u have that tick. |

| Hi, no ticks, but it get some chugs when I go a short distance say block to block when you don't have to give it alot of gas. Seems like it is the tranny shifting hard  I sure wish I got you mileage,your averaging over 250 to a tank right! Is this all highway driving?I have been SO careful the way I drive. Now for what you are supposed to feel in the pedal. As you step down the dealer said it feels like something stops it them you have to press harder to get more power. This is only on cars with ther CVT tranny. I DON"T feel this but they insitst that they do. I say they are full of you know what!!! |

   | haha well my job is about 55 miles away..so lets say 110 a day...if i full up and drive to work and once i arrive home...ill have just a lil more than half a tank...gas mileage sucks. Yeh I got the CVT, and I dont feel crap...i tried it out after i saw this post...i put all kind of pressure on the pedal...baby pressure, weak pressure...medium etc...i dont feel anything whatsoever.

 I take it you read the release I posted. Isn't it funny that cars AFTER 11/06 don't have this pedal. Do ya think maybe there was a PROBLEM? Don't know about you guys but I really think their gas mileage rating is definetly FALSE advertising. | |
